Reattachable fiducial skin marker for automatic multimodality registration.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Fusing image information has become increasingly important for optimal diagnosis and treatment of the patient. Despite intensive research towards markerless registration approaches, fiducial marker-based methods remain the default choice for a wide range of applications in clinical practice. However, as especially non-invasive markers cannot be positioned reproducibly in the same pose on the patient, pre-interventional imaging has to be performed immediately before the intervention for fiducial marker-based registrations.

Methods

We propose a new non-invasive, reattachable fiducial skin marker concept for multi-modal registration approaches including the use of electromagnetic or optical tracking technologies. We furthermore describe a robust, automatic fiducial mark
